Oh King Richard
Oh King Richard, you run rummer's dream
The swiftest of outlaw that I've ever seen
Your checkered flag waving so high in the esteem
'Til no one can catch you at all
So, what can you say about the man built for speed
The master mechanic gave you what you need
Survival on instinct and heart that don't bleed
The winning tradition of a vanishing breed
When I think about a lesser man, much like myself
Alive in a vacuum, alone on a shelve
To never go no place 'til all I got left
Is staring at these lonely walls
Oh King Richard, just keep up the pace
Your boot in your gas tank, the smile on your face
And you'll set the standard time can't erase
And God only knows how you feel
If there's life in the fast lane, then you wrote the book
But it don't come as easy as you make it look
'Cause a man in his sunshades can't never slow down
Without someone sneaking round stealing your crown
From a dirt track in Charlotte to the Daytona line
Your life flying by and you don't even mind
The world loves a winner and you've shown them all
How easy the King gets it done
Oh King Richard, just look out below
Some punk on your bumper, you're running too slow
And one day you're older, the next thing you know
Your races are already run
Oh King Richard, man, are trying to get ya
Yeah, but they never can catch you
'Cause you know how to drive like a-
Oh King Richard, men are trying to catch ya
Yeah, but they never can catch ya
'Cause you know how to drive like a fiend
Oh King Richard
I wanna live my life through your eyes
They're trying to get you
I'm wanna spend my life watching you drive
They never can get you
Oh, they never gonna take you, never gonna break you
Oh King Richard
Are you gonna stay away from the world
They're trying to get you
Oh, they're trying to make it work
They never can get you
They never gonna catch you, never taught they get you
Oh King Richard
You gotta have nerve to not this way
They're trying to get you
Yeah, you gotta hang on everyday
And now that you mention
They never gonna stop you, never gonna drop you
Oh King Richard
They're trying to get you
They never can get you
The swiftest of outlaw that I've ever seen
Your checkered flag waving so high in the esteem
'Til no one can catch you at all
So, what can you say about the man built for speed
The master mechanic gave you what you need
Survival on instinct and heart that don't bleed
The winning tradition of a vanishing breed
When I think about a lesser man, much like myself
Alive in a vacuum, alone on a shelve
To never go no place 'til all I got left
Is staring at these lonely walls
Oh King Richard, just keep up the pace
Your boot in your gas tank, the smile on your face
And you'll set the standard time can't erase
And God only knows how you feel
If there's life in the fast lane, then you wrote the book
But it don't come as easy as you make it look

They're trying to get you
They never can get you
